O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued landPraise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputiing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us (Christians) the word of reconciliation.” (2nd Cor. 5:18-19). “”For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life (resurrection).” (Romans 5:10). Whats behind door #2? Nothing.

Actually, “Allah” is simply the Arabic translation of God. The Muslims, though misguided and prone to high-explosive violence as they are, actually believe in the same God as we Christians and our Jewish cousins do. Though, they choose to follow a prophet who raised an army and built an empire on a foundation of murder and bloodshed in the 7th century, rather than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Jesus, the Christ, is in fact God the Creator, who in the beginning created the heavens and the earth (universe) and all that is in it, including life. The same God who spoke the Ten Commandments from Mt Sinai and later came and died on the cross and arose three nights and three days later.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (Jhn. 1:1-4,10,14,18)

“God who at various times and in different ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds.” (Hebrews 1: 1-2)

“Philip said to Him, “Lord show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us”. Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, “Show us the Father”? (Jhn. 14: 8-9).

Previously Jesus had said to (doubting?) Thomas, “I am the way the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (verse 6). Prior to that in chpt 6:44 Jesus said, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; —-.” In short, it seems to me that no one can have a direct line of communication with either God or Christ without a referral from both. Why not? since they are one–and the same?

Either way Jesus Christ is God and God is Jesus Christ and no one can get to where they ultimately want to be unless they go through the Son of God. The Arabic Muslims believe Jesus Christ is only a prophet. Just like the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well who claimed Jacob as her father (ancestor), she naturally worshipped the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Arabic Muslims worship the God of Abraham since they claim Abraham as their father too . The point is this, Jesus told the Samaritan woman:

“You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.” (Jhn.4:22). The Muslims are worshipping what they do not know, Allah. There are many names for God and many gods in many languages. The Muslims, without Christ, do not know what they worship. Refusing to worship Christ is refusing to worship God. Refusing to recognize Christ as God is refusing to recognize the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. There is no other name under the heavens whereby men may be saved. Anyway Jesus did tell the Samaritan lady, (one of Simon the sorcerer’s five common law wives), that He , Jesus, was the Messiah they had all been waiting for for centuries.

I think maybe you are right about Satan being behind door #2. Door #2 being earth. Some people think Satan has been bound and hogtied ever since Jesus was crucified. Can anyone imagine what this place would be like if he had not been bound? I mean like we already have an ocean of oil killing off a portion of our food chain but not enough to furnish the world’s energy needs? Not to mention the algae(s) that grow in the oceans that supply more than 50% of the earth’s oxygen supply. Israel surrounded on all sides by their enemies. Wars and rumors of wars, moderate Muslims walking around with AK-47s and radical Muslims walking around with backpacks loaded with plastic explosives. Sick corrupted government(s), and ETC,ETC,ETC. Right, it isn’t pretty. If Satan isn’t confined–and I don’t think he or IT is– it might be nice if he could be tied up.

OT but maybe of interest to anyone intersted in all things B.H.O. birth certificate.
Seems one “College instructor, also a senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in 2008 who had direct access to SS database, national crime computer, state driver’s license info, international passport info, ETC, could find no hospital birth certificate for Obama. He claims “Obama hospital birth certificate is non-existent and believes Obama was born in Kenya”.

“It will be interesting to see what comes of this.” (the election clerk’s revelation.
Sad to say, but I doubt it will change anything. However some are asking the question–“Now that Obama is demonizing BP and looking for some A– to kick” and the Britts are concerned how this will effect their investors and their economy–“Is it time for the Britts to come clean and release Obama’s real birth registration?” They are asking Obama to lower the tempo on BP at any rate.

I hadn’t thought of that angle, but it certainly is an intriguing one! If the Kenyans are literal in calling him a son of their soil, then the British may have a record of a Kenyan birth. If they do, and decided to release it, wouldn’t that be “CHANGE we can BELIEVE in”?

Dumb is dumb as– speaking of myself, but for some reason I can’t open any of those. Is it my computer or is it me? There are other (youngster(s)) people who sometimes use my computer and I wind up using the “re-imageing tool” to restore this thing and maybe I have lost something in doing that. I am not using System Restore (to an earlier date) but Reimaging to restore to the way this Dell came from the factory. Something disabled somewhere?

Back to a UK birth registration, yes I think it would be in the interest of quite a few British citizens who may be at risk of losing pension funds and/or other financial interests nationally to do a little Sherlock Holmes work into Obama’s origin and help get rid of this parasite of a president. A reverse Tea Party Brit style, so to speak, by helping kick his A__ out of the oval office.

Found it. The problem was when I reimaged the computer it reinstalled the old version of flash player. Now everything is up-to-date. Left a note on “Christ was a socialist”, Dec. 22, 2008. “The Socialist Gospel”. BS

“Sources close to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu describe Obama as a ‘Strategic Catastrophe'”. Meanwhile the Egyptian Foreign Minister has reason to believe Obama is a Muslim, because Obama told him so.

I believe it, but if he isn’t he should at least get an academy award for acting the part of a Muslim, and a socialist. The following is what Obama and the rest of the Muslims think of Christ.

Holy Qur’an 5:72-75—”They misbelieve who say, verily Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary, but the Messiah said, ‘O Children of Israel! I worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ Verily, he who associates partners with Allah, Allah hath forbidden him paradise, and his resort is the fire, and the disbeliever shall have none to help him. They misbelieve who say, ‘verily, Allah is the third of three,’ for there is no Allah, but One; And if they do not desist from what they say, there shall touch those who misbelieve amongst them grievous woe. Will they not turn again towards Allah and ask pardon of Him? For Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. The Messiah, the son of Mary, is only a Prophet! Prophets before him have passed away; and his mother was a witness; they, both, used to eat food. See how we explain to you the signs, yet see how they turn away.”

Holy Qur’an 4:171— “O ye people of the Book! Overstep not bounds in your religion; and of Allah, speak only truth. Jesus, son of Mary is only a Prophet of Allah, and His Word, which he conveyed into Mary, and a Spirit from Him. Believe, therefore, in Allah and His Prophet, and say not ‘three’ (there is a trinity)—forbear—it will be better for you. Allah is only One Allah! Far be it from His Glory that He should have a son! His is whatever is in the heavens, and whatever is in the earth! And Allah is a sufficient Guardian.”

““For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
